APPLIED BELL CURVEMANUFACTURING PLANNING
PRODUCTS

One planning framework, built per industry.

Every suite works the same way: your plant's rules are modelled as constraints, a solver builds the plan, and your planners review and edit it. What changes is the model, built from your industry's machines up. Buy the full suite or its standalone module.

SHARED ACROSS EVERY SUITE

Built the same way, whatever you make.

Data you can date

Every screen shows when its order data was last refreshed, so you know what you are planning on.

Constraint model

Machine limits and plant rules are modelled as constraints. A plan that breaks one is refused.

Optimisation solver

Each plan is solved against clear goals, such as weaving cutoffs, changeover time or trim.

Planner override

Any plan can be edited by hand. Each change is checked against your constraints before it is saved.

Change without starting over

Correct a plan by hand without rerunning it, or test a change before you commit it.

SAP orders in, Excel out

Orders arrive from SAP each day. Plans export to Excel; slitting plans re-import in the same format.

HOW A DEPLOYMENT RUNS

From your data to a schedule on the floor.

  1. WEEKS 1–2Data audit

    We collect orders, masters and one real week of schedules, and fix what doesn't reconcile.

  2. WEEKS 2–4Constraint model

    Your planners and our engineers write down the rules the plant actually runs on.

  3. WEEKS 4–6Parallel run

    The solver plans alongside your team. Every difference is explained line by line.

  4. WEEK 6 ONWARDGo live

    Planners run the system daily. We tune the model as the plant changes.

Bring one week of your real schedule.

We will show you what the solver would have done differently, line by line.
